Abrasion and Cut Protection

All synthetic slings must be protected from being accidentally cut by sharp edges at the load or the hook up points.

There two very different protection types available:

ABRASION PROTECTION

This is to protect the sling from abrasion against rough surfaces (load or otherwise)

CUT PROTECTION

This is to protect the sling from being cut by a sharp edge. The degree of protection varies with the sling, actual protector chosen, and sharpness of the edge itself.
